The girls rode today, so I was Head Babysitter. So… Here is *yesterday* in photos… Morning light… Resting already… Get her, Lucas! Lucas and Boomer getting them out of the creek… Change of dogs… Dally on duty… Old roses by the homestead… Thirsty horses… Tall grass…

Questions and Answers – July 2013 Edition
Karyn: Question for you: The profile picture of you and Elsa…she is terribly muddy. Do you have a story to go with that? Still miss her…. Oh, Karyn, I miss her too! <sniff> I put that up after she died, kind of my little tribute to her… The photo is from 2008. I’d had her…

Discussion
I keep thinking if it’d rain… I’d take the time to create some movies… but today was gorgeous. So it was yard and garden work for me! What a sad song, eh? I *will* take some updated photos of my garden… It’s tooling right along! I’ve only harvested lettuce and green onions so far… but…

One of these days, I’ll work on that movie… totally forgot about it again… I didn’t take photos on Saturday of bleeding the heifers. We draw blood and send it off to have it pregnancy tested, a new and quick way of seeing how good we are at Artificial Insemination. Tess tried her hand at…
Irish Blessing
“May God give you… For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.” Irish Blessing
Recommendation
The plan was to gather the heifers. Even with the 5 am start, I agreed to ride… about a half an hour later, I wised up! The heifers have spent the past month grazing in a lower pasture. A pasture where tall grass grows. The same grass that causes me to wheeze, sneeze, cough, and…
